Niko, however, is reluctant to do so because of the bad blood between him and Rascalov. After Pegorino leaves, Niko phones his cousin [[Roman Bellic|Roman]] and friend [[Kate McReary]].

Roman encourages Niko to conduct the deal, claiming Rascalov has changed and that Roman can use the money to take himself and Niko on holiday.
